  • Caliper Gauge

    Caliper Gauge

    Caliper Gauge As to internal caliper gauge IM-880 series, the distance between contact points facing outside is firstly set at standard dimension with ring gauge or micrometer. Then, it is measured by inserting contact point into internal dimension part to be measured after its outer dial of which moves together with rotated bezel is set at “0”. The displacement of indicator from “0” point of outer dial is to be measured at that time. The value adding to the read displacement to standard dimension or deducting it from standard dimension is the dimension of internal diameter. This series attaches spare contact point which cam set accurate dimension corresponding to size of internal dimension. External caliper gauge is opposite, namely reading the value by holding work piece with 2 contact points facing outside. Internal Dial Caliper Gauge • These gauges are designed for use in measuring deep internal diameter of bores of castings etc, and for internal reading in fabrications. Clearance has been provided for use in recessed bores. The convenient retraction lever allows one-hand operation.

With this method, you do not have to reset the system to zero after turning it off and then turning it on. The position information recorded on the scale is read every time. The following three types of absolute encoders are available: electrostatic capacitance model, electromagnetic induction model and model combining the electrostatic capacitance and optical methods. These encoders are widely used in a variety of measuring instruments as the length measuring system that can generate highly reliable measurement data. Advantages: 1. No count error occurs even if you move the slider or spindle extremely rapidly. 2. You do not have to reset the system to zero when turning on the system after turning it off*1.

  • CHEMICAL GAUGE GUARDS Series

    CHEMICAL GAUGE GUARDS Series

    CHEMICAL GAUGE GUARDS Series GGS In the following text, the word “Instrument” refers to gauges, transducers, and sensors, used in conjunction with the gauge guard INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS A. IMPORTANT – BEFORE INSTALLING Gauge guards will protect gauges and sensors from contact with chemicals, when properly installed and used within the recommended ranges of pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility. The ultimate determination of material compatibility is previous successful use in the same application. Call our Technical Support for information about your application. VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF MATERIAL BODY MATERIAL COLOR “PV” Dark Gray (Geon®) (PVC) (Polyvinylchloride) “GPP” Opaque (20% Glass-Filled Polypropylene) White “PF” Translucent (Kynar®) (PVDF) (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) White “CP” (Corzan CPVC) Light Gray Caution: Plastic materials degrade in ultraviolet (UV) light or sunlight. Caution: Instruments filled and installed at Plast-O-Matic are tested to the manufacturer's specified accuracy. Instrument accuracy is generally reduced by the guard, especially for low pressure range gauges. Caution: Do not apply pressure unless an instrument is installed. Release process pressure before removing the instrument from the guard. B. MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING Series GGS Gauge Guards are rated for the full pressure range of the instrument supplied when the instrument is factory installed. When supplied without an instrument, they are rated according to the pressure/temperature de-rating chart printed in the catalog also available at: www.plastomatic.com/ggscatalog.pdf. C. FILLING & INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION Fill Liquid – Factory filled instruments are filled with an FDA approved Mineral Oil. Water can be used for room temperature applications. Guards that have an EPDM diaphragm should be filled with an EPDM compatible liquid such as Glycerin.
